Space Mountain...Kaden's first time ever riding...he liked it enough to ride it two more times!










More Mine Train action!














As we were leaving, we got to see Mickey and Friends.  Kaden was SO EXCITED!  It was precious to see his excitement!



Finished the day with more pool time
Magic Kingdom...like we've never seen it before...at 25% capacity!  It seemed strange that the park wasn't packed.  It was easy to walk around, there weren't a ton of people in the back ground of our pictures, and the lines for the rides were at a minimum.  Many rides we were able to walk right up with no wait.  Other rides we maybe had a 5 minute wait.  I think the longest we waited was about 15-20 minutes.  It was incredible.  We rode the Mine Train 6 times...this never happens in real life...ever!  We rode Space Mountain 3 times.  We rode every single ride as many times as we wanted.  It was crazy fun!  Because of Corona, not all of the restaurants were open, and the biggest difference, characters were not available for close up pictures.  In fact, we only saw Mickey and Friends at the end of the day as we were exiting the park.  I think there were small parades with characters throughout the day, but we were content riding rides, so we didn't catch any of the non scheduled parades.  Disney nailed the reopening of their parks.  Before the entrance of each line there was a sanitation station as well as at the exit of each ride.  We called the sanitizer "sauce"...so we would get "sauce" before and after each ride.  We stayed well sanitized.  The park was cleaner than ever.  Rides were socially distanced or limited to one family.  For example, on It's A Small World, there was one family per boat.  So it was actually really nice!  It was great being able to walk around and not having to fight crowds.  And it was nice that when in line people weren't right up next to you....there were markers on the ground for distancing.  We had a magical day for sure!  Even though some things were different, we had an absolute blast!  If we go again, the kids will be in shock on the wait times for rides.  I am so glad we went and got to experience this once in a lifetime Disney trip!
